We had a private room for the cake, gifts, lunch, etc., but the museum was open for all of us to explore. At first I questioned the use of the word 'museum' because it was just one huge area of toys and playthings and total bedlam with all the little ones running around. Then I realized it is a museum - where so many child friendly activities and teaching moments have been curated.
So here are some random photos from the party.
I call this one "Find a Friend". The little girl was already in the cart. Louis joined her. She didn't seem to mind too much.

Ayden and great-grandpa Bud. He is the most loving little boy. He always runs to greet us with a hug everytime we see him.

Her mother and Louis' mom are first cousins.

Louis opening his gift from the great-grands. I can't afford to give my greats much. It's always a card in the mail with a five dollar bill. But if we go to their party I try to give them a little present in addition to the card and money. It is usually a book, but for Louis, on this day, it was a package of puzzles.
I don't know if his parents will appreciate them. When my kids were little it seemed like I was constantly picking up puzzle pieces.
Probably my favorite pic of the day - me and the birthday boy. I'm still blown over by the fact that his parent's named him Louis - which was my dad's name.
It was a wonderful, memorable day, but great-grandma came home totally wiped out. It is fun, but tiring, trying to keep up with those little ones.
